Outrageous!

TWO DOWN, TWO TO GO!!!!!!!!! The anatomy test was today, considering how much I studied, the fact that I basically crammed everything last night, I'm quite happy with the test. It was easier than I expected it to be and I think I did pretty well. Hehe. Thank you God, for giving me the strength to stay awake till 5am. T.T But see. Pushing yourself and working hard, at the end of the day, no one cares whether you didn't sleep at all or that you had twenty cans of redbull or cups of coffee to help you through the studying, no one cares if you stayed in the library overnight or whatever. At the end of the day, it's the results that count. 

Yesterday, there was this exhibition thingy in conjunction with International Cultures Week. Adib, Yong, Wani and I went to check it out (cuz we heard there would be food there!). :P So there were Malaysian, Russian, Nigerian and Indian stands in the hall. The Malaysian stand was actually pretty impressive lo. They had a rack of traditional clothing, lots of interesting information and myths and stuff stuck on the wall, booklets of like customs and songs and stuff, and the traditional games too. Congkak, and the 5 stones game or something, hopscotch, and a skipping rope made of rubber bands. Haha remember those? The Indian stall had food and it was sooooo good. The Malaysian food wasn't allowed up there because it was too heavy or something, or it wasn't insured because it was home cooked you know? But yea. People started coming in and they were playing the games and they tried on the baju kurungs and baju melayus. They were jumping rope and stuff. It was so good! We went to check out all the stands and the Nigerian one was so cool! Their traditional costumes so nice and colourful. And their games didn't need any instruments or anything, just themselves. It was soooo fun watching them play you know. They're such awesome, coordinated, free people! I wanna be Nigerian too. Haha. They had this game where it's like "gu ji ba (stone scissors paper)" but using their feet, with 4 different positions, and with a pretty fast beat they had to follow and made by clapping their hands. So fun oh. Then we finally went downstairs to where the food was. 

There was loads of food oh!!! At first we didn't really wanna take any cuz we were Malaysian and it was supposed to be for other people to try our food right. But I didn't know more than half of the dishes (because they were all Malay dishes) so Adib made me try some. Lompat tikam, the dessert, was SOOOO NICE. The green jelly, red sticky rice, coconut cream thingy? and gula melaka. Tried lontong, the tofu vegetarian curry thing? Haha and we stayed there for AGES man. Like for about 2 hours or so we just stood there and took little food here and there. Chatted loadssss in the cold and just joked around. It was really enjoyable loooo!! Very fun! In the end we had all the food. Ketupat, satay sauce, chicken curry, nasi lemak with the boiled egg, curry puff, and a weird bun. Hahaha. Kinda felt bad but hey. At least we know how to appreciate it. Oh, apparently Adib posted on my class' dentistry fb group and invited them to go have a taste of Malaysia or something. And he said to "take a chill pill from Dr. Toulouse's anatomy". HAHAHAHA OMG. We kept going on about how no one ever says take a chill pill anymore and kept giving him grief about it. It was so funny. 

PJ and David came over. That was kinda nice of them. David enjoyed the food I think but PJ didn't really. I was having loads of fun so I was being really myself, the uninhibited, hyper me. And we were all talking and the subject of us (the Malaysians) staying in Ireland for 5 years came up and we were saying like, oh, 5 years is such a long time. Then PJ said, "ah it'll be fine. You all are such good friends amongst yourselves anyway". And being myself, I put on that sarcastic tone and said like, "oh yeaaaaaaa. *glance at Yong* Sure. We're greeeeat friends. Great friends indeed". And I could see PJ just staring at me. ................................................... ~awkward~.

I mean seriously. That got me thinking lo. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy am I sooo.... Unfeminine and so outrageous and LOLLLLLLLL and rough and loud and sarcastic?!?!?!?! SERIOUSLY. I think that lots of people don't get me lo, and they'll just be put off by me cuz I'm like so forward or talkative or whatever. I don't even know what I am. But just. Ugh. Tbh, I was kinda embarrassed lo. Some people don't get my humour or sarcasm and think I'm being serious and then I wanna strangle myself for being so ridiculous. -.-------------- I think that Spongebob influenced me too much as a child. 

Btw, this video is awesome! PEACE OUT PEEPS!
